Yes. I do that with most of my access points using either the address

Business name - ok. Business address - matter of public record.

Private address? Can't agree.

I'm with you, Mark. To a degree, I appreciate it when my neighbors
identify themselves via their SSID, but it's not something I do myself
or for any of the people I set up.
